Here are my during pictures...
And the final result...
And the review from the kids...
It was a lot more work than I am used to... being super busy during the week, I look for quick and easy recipes. It took me about 2 hrs prep time to make this dish ~ and then another 40 minutes in the oven.
Will I make it again? Yes, it was a big hit.
Was it worth it? Yes, but I think next time I'll save myself some work and either cook boneless/skinless chicken which is what I normally do or buy a precooked chicken from the grocery store. It's about the same price and always tastes yummy.
I actually made dessert last night as well.
It is warm spiced peaches and bananas 
over vanilla ice cream in a shortcake shell. 
Richard and Nate really liked it. Julianne doesn't eat peaches ~ go figure. I do have a recipe to make the spiced peaches from scratch but I cheated with the jar ones. Really, just as good and saved me a ton of work.
Next up... Ree's famous cinnamon rolls. I can do all the prep on a Saturday night and bake em up for Sunday morning. Wish me luck.

I love Ree (Pioneer Woman) - she's such a hoot, and her recipes always look (and taste!) fantastic! Last night I made the Chocolate Cobbler she just blogged about (http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2010/05/a-tasty-recipe-grannys-chocolate-cobbler/) - I didn't have any because of my diet, and everybody else was so late getting home that I don't think anybody had any - it's still in the fridge! They can have it tonight :D
2 hours prep time for a dinner, tho? OUCH! I don't even want to do 2 hours prep for Thanksgiving, let alone for a regular weeknight dinner! Good thing it got the thumbs up from the kids - I would definitely trim prep time with boneless skinless breasts - they're a kitchen staple here. The dessert looks delicious as well!
I am glad the Chicken Spaghetti was good - it looks delicious! I can't wait to hear about the cinnamon rolls - that is the one recipe I am DYING to try!
2 hour prep is nuts!! I'll take the short cut version ;O)
